This study will evaluate the preventive vaccine efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the ALVAC-HIV vaccine + Bivalent Subtype C gp120 protein adjuvanted with MF59 in HIV-seronegative South African adults over 24 months from enrollment. Participants will be randomized to receive ALVAC-HIV (vCP2438), or placebo, by intramuscular injection at weeks 0 ...

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity to vCP2438 (an HIV clade C vaccine) and to an unadjuvanted or MF59- or alum-adjuvanted bivalent clade C gp120 in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. The study will enroll healthy, HIV-uninfected participants aged 18 to 40 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to ...

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the VRC01 antibody in preventing HIV-1 infection in healthy women at high risk of HIV infection.

Pulmonary function testing is the most widely used tool for the diagnosis, severity assessment, management, risk factor categorization and follow-up of individuals with chronic lung disease. Africa has a high burden of infectious respiratory diseases which include tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus-related lung disease.Coupled with this is an increasing burden ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response of the DNA-HIV-PT123 vaccine when used in combination with one of two protein vaccines: Bivalent Subtype C gp120/MF59 (Protein/MF59) or Bivalent Subtype C gp120/AS01B (Protein/AS01B). These protein vaccines may boost the immune response to the DNA ...
